This is a basic but difficult Civic Literacy Exam. The questions have been discussed many times here, so I would predict that FRs will do better on the average vs other Americans esp our politicians. In fact, at the end of the exam are the results of politicians in office.

This is the question I got wrong with the explanation:

uestion: If taxes equal government spending, then:

Your Answer: government debt is zero

Correct Answer: tax per person equals government spending per person on average

How can this be correct when the government receives money from taxes which are not taxes on individuals? If the government is receiving taxes from corporations, for example, it's expenditures per person far exceeds its revenues from those persons.

I understand the "on average" modification but I do not read it to mean that all taxes from all sources averaged by dividing it by the number of people even though not derived exclusively from people.

In considering my (wrong) answer I understood that it seemed to apply better to "deficit" rather than to "debt" but there was no time limit so one can assume that taxes equal expenditures from the beginning of time and therefore there would be no debt.
